Racial profiling is when someone (usually some sort of law enforcement) observes an individual/group of individuals or a particular race and assumes that they are doing something illegal. Basically, it is the user of an individual’s race or ethnicity as the key factor in the decision to accuse or engage in enforcement (pull someone over; make an arrest). Racial profiling is against the law in most states, however some states have no racial profiling ban at all and some states only prohibit racial profiling when it is against motorists and/or pedestrians.
